Tokenization is about to reshape traditional finance far more than most people realize. With Nasdaq making moves to list tokenized equities, we're witnessing a genuine shift—not just talk, but real infrastructure changes. According to Owen Lau from Clear Street, this signals something crucial: traditional finance institutions are finally getting serious about blockchain.

It's not happening overnight, but 2026 could be the turning point where the gap between crypto and conventional markets starts collapsing. When a venue like Nasdaq starts tokenizing securities, it's not a PR stunt—it's a bet that this technology actually works at scale. The infrastructure is getting there. The regulatory framework is getting clearer. What's left is execution, and momentum is building.

Nasdaq has really started to play with tokenization, now traditional finance has to lower its head and be more cautious. --- Can 2026 really turn things around? Feels like every year is said to be a turning point... --- It sounds nice, but the key still depends on whether regulation can truly keep up, otherwise it's just a bunch of empty talk. --- Owen is right, but we're still far from having the infrastructure ready and achieving real-scale implementation. --- This move by Nasdaq isn't just talk; it's a real signal of entry. --- Wait, does this mean my coins can be listed on Nasdaq? Or is it just a dream? --- Momentum is building, but who can guarantee it won't be suddenly knocked back by policy changes? --- Infrastructure is getting there... Just a brief mention, but what about the details?

Honestly, I only believe it when Nasdaq takes action. Just shouting is useless, brothers. --- 2026? Let's see if we can survive 2025 first, haha. --- Come on, can someone tell me if this thing has landed? Or is it just another round of hype? --- Infrastructure is clear, regulations are in place, only waiting for someone to actually use it. Will it become another castle in the air? --- Nasdaq's move is quite aggressive, really not joking around. --- Every time it's about the "turning point," the turning point, the real turning point? Has it truly happened? --- Execution is the key. Don't talk to me about visions; I only look at the results. --- Honestly, this time feels different. Major institutions are really starting to get on board.

Nasdaq is really getting serious this time, this isn't just talk, the underlying infrastructure is truly changing. Wait, will 2026 really be a turning point? Feels a bit optimistic still. This time is different, traditional finance is taking it seriously. The infrastructure is in place, and regulations are clear. Now it's just a matter of who can get started first. This wave of tokenization feels like a game-changer. To put it nicely, it still depends on whether it can scale up on a large scale.

Nasdaq finally stopped pretending and directly launched tokenized equities. Now traditional finance is truly panicking.

Nasdaq is really going all out this time, is traditional finance panicking now? --- It's 2026 again, another turning point, how many years have I heard this kind of talk... --- But on the other hand, the fact that Nasdaq is involved in tokenized equity is indeed different. Finally, major institutions are willing to place bets. --- Alright, I'll just see if 2026 can really be a collapse or not, hopefully not another PPT revolution. --- Honestly, it still comes down to execution. Having a framework isn't enough; it has to actually run to count. --- Nasdaq's move this time is quite crucial, just worried that policies might block it later on... --- Finally, a major platform is willing to bet on this thing. Before, it was all talk.

NGL, Nasdaq's move this time is quite impressive. Is it really possible to break through in 2026?
